I love that you kept in the moment when you almost fell, and when you got your line tangled in the poles behind you. We all do that, but never see anyone doing that on youtube - so it's motivational in a way.
Kristine you’re doing great! You made to the tournament of CHAMPIONS which in itself is something you should be proud of!! So fishing grass Mats and Lilly pads often I would miss a lot on a blow up. I researched why and yes the bass inhaled your frog but also a mouth full of foliage. People have said, I don’t know but I would pause 5-6 seconds and then set the hook. Made a difference for me… and is not a criticism. Remember how hard you worked to get where you are! Dave
The hardest thing for me and frog fishing is having the patience to let them take it for several seconds, them set the hook. I have missed so many fish trying to set the hook too fast. Something I have to work on. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! You are truly blessed..
I have to agree with all the positive comments here! You are the best example of what a fisherman/person should be. I love watching your videos and I always learn something. Thanks for being you!
What a bite!!! Not gonna critique you as I am nobody but in that scenario I would put that freaking frog away and replace with a weightless sluggo. Single hook hookup ratio goes way up.....and big fish love it.. Congrats on your success.
Thanks for sharing you feelings about success and failure you are truely a wonderful spokesperson for the sport. I was getting anxious the entire video . I too noticed some things already mentioned. The thing that really stood out was you cadt right handed and then really move the tip far left on the retrieve which leaves a slight bow then when you set the hook you come back over your right shoulder which creates a S shape in the line theres now two points that have to straighten out before the line is fully burrying the hooks. Perhaps it was the weather ,you be exahsted ,or just the approach of the yac. I would also suggest going to a 6'8" or 6'6" rod which at first seems counter productive but adds more control when "Rippin' Lips" . I fish frogs all season out of a Bonafide 127 . I use no other bait till fall Perch . The shorter rod will also help you when netting a bigger fish , the tip will be more controllable and you wont find yourself having to lean back and feeling awkward. I fish 4-6 days a week 8-12 hrs. a day with only frogs and have found a smaller profile 2" vs 2&1/2 frog will secure more and deeper hooksets. All in all some days are just going to have a person's mind being their own worst enemy. You are a great fisherwoman and I watch and enjoy all your videos decause you are humble and share your feelings that the majority of people have when fishing. I would never pretend to be better than you or anyone else I just love Froggin' and taking that one last cast. Take care of you and your Mental Health first and foremost. Thanks........ AKA. The Frogman
I noticed you don't have a follow up rod ready with plastic on it. For me anytime I get a topwater blow up that misses I'll throw the plastic in. I get about a third to take the different follow up bait. It adds to my stringer anytime I'm using topwater.
Awesome job!!! Your always a champion in my book! I was taught decades ago frog fishing you wait till you feel the fish to set the hook. Not when you see the strike.
Doesn’t matter where you finish in the tournament Kristine your my favorite angler. You’re always positive and cheering for everybody. That is worth it all
You're such an awesome person. Your highs and lows and you stay such a positive person. I think I can say for all your fans that's one of the reasons we love you. I had a friend tell me when I was second guessing all my choices once, he said "if Ifs and buts was candy and nuts we'd all have a wonderful Christmas..lol. Rest up and have fantastic holidays ahead.
Congratulations on another top 10 for AOY, now to the meat and potato, Kristen one recommendation I would give you when frog fishing is slow down on the Hooksett you want to feel the bass first so you're not setting the hook on a slack line that's your biggest no no when frog fishing., lady you did great learn from it and move forward with meaning great video 👍
Thanks for taking us on this journey Kristine ! You are an awesome fisherwoman lol and an awesome person ! Congrats on making the TOC and congrats on 100 thousand subs ! Looking forward to next season 😊
Kristine, you will always be a champion! It is an absolute pleasure to watch you compete, your heart and soul are always in the right place! I wish you, G and your families a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving! Take care and be safe! 🙏
WOW Kristine!!! Complete respect! Whether a good day or a not so good day you keep it 100% real and show us how i truly is some days! Love the videos and congratulations on all your success!!💯💯
So sorry that you had a tough tournament. I hope you watch your vids and they will show what you are doing that is right as well as wrong. Been following you since you had 5 k in followers. All the best!
I love watching your shows. I live with a frog rod in my hand. I’m not a pro but I see a few things that might help you improve your technique & give you more success with a frog.
Those Kaira frogs are sick but have terrible hookups on cheese mats. They work great in duck weed and submerged grass that gross vertical because the fish faces the same way when attacking. That cheese is like a blanket, so you should throw a larger frog knowing the fish can't see the size when on the cheese only(keep the K in hand too for sparce cover). Weight the crap out of the K frog. Lastly, punch follow up with similar plastic.
I find one of the hardest things to do in a kayak is the frog hook set. From a boat above the water ,little problem. Sitting on the water it’s tough. Thanks for sharing your fishing life with us.
I fish Illinois retention ponds all summer long and I have to use alot of frog because there’s so many weeds. It’s so much fun, but they’re hard to hook on a frog. Sometimes I take a pliers and try to open the hooks a little more. I think it helps but you get weeds then so darn if you do darned if you don’t.
Congratulations on a great season and glad to see a fellow Nebraskan get the win. Best of luck next season and keep working hard on your frog fishing technique 👊 and tell your Gpa n Gma Randy Rhodes said Hi !
Always fun to watch your videos content is always great. You maybe high sticking those fish from what I’ve seen, causing you to loose some fish. It’s difficult in kayak for sure for a good hook set. Keep up the great work!
In lieu of pulling the frog out of the fish's mouth, have you thought about a short quick hook set? Attention to detail, so important in all things in life. Keep casting!
I found with top-water she is setting the hook way to quickly. Give the fish a little bit more time to get the bait fully in its mouth... THis is just my personal opinion...
💪ne te décourage pas !!!tu es une battante..tu vas gagner a un moment tu le mérites 👌👍 encore bravo !!! Ont te regarde beaucoup en France..🇨🇵🇺🇲 a bientôt pour la suite...👁️👁️♒🎣🉑🎣
👍✌️ keep up the grind young lady.. when you get there we will all be cheering for you... 100k just around the corner young lady.. some might say that accomplishment and beyond is just as good maybe even better in some ways than BASS..✌️👍 💯🔥🌍😂👍👍
On the NE and river small mouth fishing, an expert in the specialism. Jake Villwock an angler on rivers and lakes in PA and NY State shores lake Erie, talked about his impression of seasonal bass behavior. An interesting interview he did in ep 534 of Wet Fly Swing. And something that anglers there tried to make called a Ned Fly? A fly to imitate a Ned.
All you can do try your best, 16th out of that many people is still really good! I'm not a tournament angler, I consider myself a pretty decent angler but I prefer to find hard to get places & chase big bites on swimbaits. So I would probably get my ass kicked if I did enter any...? I know how it is losing big fish. I lost 2 huge girls in past month an 8+ & another 9-10 pounder that I got a really good look at. Those still sting! Just keep fishing & getting on water as much as possible & most importantly enjoy ourselves & stay positive. We all have ups & downs & stuck somewhere in-between as well. I went from best summer I've ever had beating my PB largmouth 4 times with newest an 11.4 Then this fall I've been getting my ass kicked!!! Really really bad
Hey Kristine, not sure what type of frog you were using but have you tried the Scum Frog Launch Frog ? When I switched to that one my hookup ratio increased tremendously compared to the other frogs. Maybe it's the softer flexibility of the Launch Frog's back that allows better hookups than frogs with the harder plastic backs that get in the way of the hooks....plus I always bend the two hooks upward just a little. That's the only frog I will use now. We love your videos. We are big fans & we love your channel. Keep up the great work & God Bless !
Try to reach out to Sarah with Camerman Ron and see how can help he and Sarah out and their channel while Ron is in the hospital for the next 2 to 4 months.
You had this, i don't understand why the hook would not set. i think could be the frog not you. you were perfect. anyway i am no pro for sure. God Bless you.
You are a way better fisherman than me, but watching the video, I see that you have a bow in your line on most of the missed frog bites. Your boat is going forward and your rod is point back just a bit, creating a bow. Also, with your rod tip so low, i noticed that several missed bites, you had a lot of line pulling through water. Not being critical, I love your videos and cheer for you at every tournament. Just a little something I noticed. I was doing it with a buzzbait a few years ago.
Appreciate the feedback!! And I believe you’re right- wth a kayak, you really need a power pole when frog fishing because you “pull” the kayak towards the mat too often, loosing tension! I didn’t have a power pole :(
If you have the opportunity to travel to Thailand, I would like you to go fishing. In Thailand there are , Snakehead fish sea bass, and many other species. You should search. My wife is a guide in Bangkok. I have a chance to come and see. Thailand welcomes you.
Hi It is so entertaining to watch you do what you love My husband & I watch your utube We are in a place called Quindalup in the south west of Western Australia Reason for my message When you did that utube after the world comp in Sweden you were on a roof & I loved the top you were wearing I want to buy one where can I buy one of these Ta Maryanne - Quindalup WA
I hate frog fishing there so hard to set hook on I’ve tried it every way in the world and you’re still gonna miss at least half , and that’s just not for me .
It's really easy to point out things I see you doing on TV/UA-cam, all I'm saying is at least try to give it a few seconds before you rip their lips off. Just try it.
I love that you kept in the moment when you almost fell, and when you got your line tangled in the poles behind you.
We all do that, but never see anyone doing that on youtube - so it's motivational in a way.
I kinda like a cloudy drizzling brisk morning... once in a while 🫠

Thanks for taking us along on this tournament. And it's paying off, You're almost to 100K Subs...
BTW, Great Cap & Great Band... 🍺🎣
Good luck 🤞🤞🤞
What a bite!!! Not gonna critique you as I am nobody but in that scenario I would put that freaking frog away and replace with a weightless sluggo. Single hook hookup ratio goes way up.....and big fish love it..
Congrats on your success.
i also fish with Left handed reels on my baitcasters.. You did an amazing job out there, fished your heart out..

Your positive attitude and determination are key to your success. Your time will come Kristine.👍
Awesome job!!! Your always a champion in my book!

To frog or not frog ....that is the question.
I missed a few on frogs this year too but not for tournaments. Top water blow ups are addictive
Doesn’t matter where you finish in the tournament Kristine your my favorite angler. You’re always positive and cheering for everybody. That is worth it all
Awesome vids. Look forward to more winter fishing posts!

Thank you so much!

c'mon may that Huge 24 inch fish take the bait 😉🤍🙏

That was a huge yellow perch!!!!!
RIGHT?! 🤣
Aww yeah! I'll take that perch any day! If there's one, there's probably alot more around it. Plenty of them in Lake Erie
Congratulations on a great season and glad to see a fellow Nebraskan get the win. Best of luck next season and keep working hard on your frog fishing technique 👊 and tell your Gpa n Gma Randy Rhodes said Hi !
It's been a good year overall.
Thanks for the shows👍👴🦸♀️🎣🇺🇸🦅
Clouds are leaving , front is pushing through
Looking at your videos, makes me have good confidence on trying different lures. Hope you have a great day. 2:21
Way to go keep up the great work!👍👊
Happy Thanksgiving 🍽️🦃🍽️🦃🍽️🦃
Always fun to watch your videos content is always great. You maybe high sticking those fish from what I’ve seen, causing you to loose some fish. It’s difficult in kayak for sure for a good hook set. Keep up the great work!
Think you should have thrown a top water popper,those treble hooks would have got a few in the kayak
Always thought you had a hesitate a little bit longer than that before you set the hook on a frog bite .
In lieu of pulling the frog out of the fish's mouth, have you thought about a short quick hook set? Attention to detail, so important in all things in life. Keep casting!
I found with top-water she is setting the hook way to quickly. Give the fish a little bit more time to get the bait fully in its mouth... THis is just my personal opinion...

That was a good read that kid that the orientation of you to do some fishing I wish I could do some fishing

KF keep it up; you have every reason to be positive. Sorry it took me so long to subscribe.
Hate it when larger ones short hit the lure!
Try to reach out to Sarah with Camerman Ron and see how can help he and Sarah out and their channel while Ron is in the hospital for the next 2 to 4 months.
you setting that frog hook too early! i feel every loss for you on those hook ups. Been there!
It was hard to watch.
You had this, i don't understand why the hook would not set. i think could be the frog not you. you were perfect. anyway i am no pro for sure. God Bless you.
How do you like that STX? I think it's my favorite reel
Might be striking too early? not a critism but a question

very respectful observations, we have much the same outlook. Fish on my friendwe are always learning😉
Appreciate the feedback!! And I believe you’re right- wth a kayak, you really need a power pole when frog fishing because you “pull” the kayak towards the mat too often, loosing tension! I didn’t have a power pole :(
But we all know that when you set that hook and the kayak moves and the fish doesn't, you want to meet that girl!! Great stuff@@kristinefischer2289
It's had to set the hook in a kayak maybe reel down right quick and then try to break his other jaw your one hell of a bass fisherman love your vids
I usually just get myself stuck in some of the Matt’s, no power pole needed.
Your grandpa will enjoy this video
If you have the opportunity to travel to Thailand, I would like you to go fishing. In Thailand there are , Snakehead fish sea bass, and many other species. You should search. My wife is a guide in Bangkok. I have a chance to come and see. Thailand welcomes you.
What frog were you using?...
What frog is that ? Was it the hooks ?
What was the water temp
In this video??
Congratulations on your success! You have a great Stick ! Awesome fisherwoman! Or fisherman? Lol I’m not sure what’s the correct word is ?
Wish you could teach me how to fish
Hi
It is so entertaining to watch you do what you love
My husband & I watch your utube
We are in a place called Quindalup in the south west of Western Australia

I hate frog fishing there so hard to set hook on I’ve tried it every way in the world and you’re still gonna miss at least half , and that’s just not for me .
You sure did get a lot of bites. It wasn't because you slacked
It's really easy to point out things I see you doing on TV/UA-cam, all I'm saying is at least try to give it a few seconds before you rip their lips off. Just try it.
You got it.👍😎💯👌💪🥰🙏😇😍🌹🧲
